No problem, god bless.
If I recall, the '53 got the full pressure 235 mid year. Are you sure it's a babbit pounder? Someone here is bound to know how to tell which...
And all this time I've been trying to hide the 600 in the back of my shop. :) -Jeff
Kinda lame photo, but here's mine from a while back. Dual webers (probably not so traditional), coated headers, water-heated Offy intake,...
I like your car and color scheme. :) Mine's got a '54 235 and '54 manual rear axle, (is that a 3.70? for some reason I'm thinking 3.83??). I'm...
Not sure what this biggun' was intended for, but the lever is kinda cool and only swings a few degrees between open and shut. Unfortunately its...
I've been thinking about this lately too - why not a big gate valve? A 2" or 3" valve is all metal so nothing will melt, it should seal, and is...
I just put a '54 driveline in my '51, so I know it works. First of all, if the engine is already in, I believe the tranny goes in through the...
Very funny, guys. My favorite is when people argue with you about what year the car is. "What year is that?" "It's a '51." "No, I'm pretty...
Cool, thanks guys. I live in BFE so nothing is readily available - appreciate the help.
I was going to block the rear to lower it some, but I'm not sure where to find longer versions of the flat-bottomed u-bolts that hold the stock...
Yep, I like em. Not sure what you can catagorize it as, but here's my CB450. More cafe than anything else I suppose....
Cool shit, looks great!
Hey, it's television. No one at discovery gives a rats behind about whether a flatty would be more appropriate, 'cause the shows about selling...
I dig the pressure gauge too. The whole engine looks very similar to my 235, which I just got running. I did a lot of reading about copper...
Not much reason to be crusing in Palouse country, but I'm in Pullman WA should the need arise. Lannigan, in the book...
My shop, & 51 chevy, fresh with a 235.
Welcome Doc. I always dug the Toronado, FWD and all. I dig the flat floor, weird speedo, etc. Almost bought one once but ended up with an...
The belt width was changed in 53 or 54, I can't remember. I do know that the wide belt pump from my 51 216 bolted right to the 54 235 and works...
Hey V8minor & Lost Angel, What did you have to do to jet the Webers? I just got my 235 with dual webers started up the other day; haven't...
Good thread, guys. My son is almost a year old. I go to the shop at 5:00am, back to the house by 6:30 when the wife and child get up. Makes for...
My whole life my Dad has always been restored model As, but the anal restentiveness of it makes me nuts. "In the latest MAFCA judging standards,...
An OHC6? Bitchin! I bought a '66 Tempest 230 years ago with thoughts of putting it in my '51, but went the 235 Chevy route instead. How do you...
Check this car out; some serious engineering and fabrication went into this one: http://www.corvaircorsa.com/V-12-01.html
Shot this last summer; that's the moon on hte left.
Looks great, pretty similar approach to how I'm doing my 51 Chevy. I have been following your website for awhile, and it's nice to see an update;...
The intake is a new Offenhauser with adapters for the webers. Bought both from Langdon's Stovebolt.
Hello all. Been lurking for awhile, time to contribute. I'm 31, and have had my '51 HT since I was 15. It's been in the family since new, and...
Yeah, I've read the warnings on copper, thus the mounts to keep it from moving around. I'll be keeping an eye on it. I like the contrast of the...
Since you are talking about '51s with 235s, thought I'd share a shot of my engine. Dual Webers, headers, will have 2" exhaust with 24"...
